Good Question: Best Storage for Loose Tea?

I know there are plenty of tea drinkers at AT and I really need their help. My husband and I are avid tea drinkers and are looking for a storage solution for our loose leaf tea.

I know I want something that is air-tight and preferably rectangular (easier to store in cupboard). My husband wants something that is opaque so he can leave it on his desk at work. We haven’t been able to find something that meets both of our requests. Any storage options or how others store their loose leaf tea would be so helpful! Thanks!

Also, if you order your loose teas from some companies, like Adagio, they'll send your tea already packaged in a good airtight tin (pictured above on the left). We love Adagio a lot; they are a good tea company to order from and their products are great.
